About The Author: Emma Miller lives quietly in her old farmhouse in rural Delaware amid fertile fields and lush woodlands. Fortunate enough to be born into a family of strong faith, she grew up on a dairy farm, surrounded by loving parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Emma was educated in local schools, and once taught in an Amish schoolhouse much like the one at Seven Poplars. When she's not caring for her large family, reading and writing are her favorite pastimes.
My Thoughts On The Book: This was a wonderfully written with a twist. The characters were engaging, and I felt as if I knew them all personally. Hannah's family was full of love and faith. You could tell that they cared a great deal for each other. As the grandmother of a grandson/granddaughter with Downs Syndrome drew me into the book. I have never read an Amish book with this subject matter discussed and it was an interesting change of pace. The fact that Hannah's youngest daughter Susanna was born with Downs Syndrome, was something that I have not found in other novels of this nature, so it was refreshing to see a character with a very well known and personal for me condition. Hannah had her hands full dealing with Susanna and "King" David ( Susanna's Down's Syndrome boyfriend). Hannah struggles with wanting to protect her daughter by keeping them apart and yet feeling for the young couple as they experience their first boy/girl relationship. I found myself pulling for Albert and Hannah as well as David and Susanna. This is a book is perfect for those who enjoy Amish Romances, and also with those who enjoy just a good clean Christian romance. I loved it.
